TIDM-HV-1PH-DCAC: I can not program the default codes onthe device.

Part Number: TIDM-HV-1PH-DCAC
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG, C2000WARE-DIGITALPOWER-SDK, C2000WARE

Hi,

Hope you are all doing very well.

 I need to change the module specifications to use TIDM-HV-1PH-DCAC for 2kW invertyer with 24V input voltage. I know that I need to change the active and passive components. But how can I modify the program on the microcontroller? I watched the 1-day training, which is working with the pre-set programs, but I did not understand finally, how to modify the program and load it to the module. I tried to even load the same program of TIDM-HV-1PH-DCAC, which you sent me the link to the module, but it has errors in the CCS.

  • Hi Najmeh,

    Are you trying to modify to the power stage parameters for the reference design via the SysConfig page? Or are you trying to change other variables in the application?

    Can you also share the training program that you are following. Can you share what version of the C2000Ware-DIgitalPower-SDK you obtained the example from.

    The image is revealing that include paths for the project aren't setup correctly. Please double check your include paths and file search paths in the project properties.

  • Hi Azino,

    I use C2000Ware_DigitalPower_SDK_4_02_00_00. I tried to program the microcontroller via Code Composer which I see the project is under Sysconfig as it is 'main.syscfg' (I used the default projects that are available in CCS).  I only need to change the input a little bit for example to 300V at this moment, to learn how I can change the specifications of the microcontroller first, then when I change the components in the circuits, I will adjust the input to 24V 2kWatt. 

    I followed the 1-day workshop videos in the link below.

    Kind regards,

  • Najmeh,

    Are you looking to make changes to information displayed in the main.syscfg or some where else in the application? Where are you now in your learning with this reference design?

  • Ozino, yes I want to make some changes in the information in main.syscfg and program it on the microcontroller ( I want to change the input voltage to 300V) for now. I need to be able to program the microcontroller, which I even could not do with the default program without any changes (as you saw the errors).

  • Najmeh,

    Sounds like you want to make more modifications than those provided in the GUI. I'll recommend you import the nonpowerSUITE version of the project, available in C2000Ware-DigitalPower-SDK, and customize the power stage parameters in the settings.h and user_settings.h files in the project. The nonpowerSUITE version does not include SysConfig support and allows for maximum customizations.

    Let me know if this option offers you the flexibility needed.

  • Thank you for the shared information. 

    For now, please assume that there is no change needed for the original design. Now, I have some questions, as there is no manual for the module (TIDM-HV-1H-DCAC) I bought. Is the microcontroller preprogrammed to perform in the circuit (380V to 110V)? If no, what are these errors that I get, when I want to transfer the original program on the microchip? I have provided the screen shot of them previously.

  • Najmeh,

    Have you taken a look at the software user's guide TIDUAY6? This document explains how to run the software and gives an explanation about the reference design.

    Yes, by default, the reference design converters 380V DC to 110 Vrms. The user's guide explains this in more detail.

    As mentioned previously, the errors in the images you sent indicate that the files in question are missing or the include paths are not correctly configured.

    Are you able to import the existing reference design from C2000Ware-DigitalPower-SDK without any errors, prior to any modifications? The examples builds and runs out of the box.

  • I solved the problem. You need to let your customers know that, the file they will save everything on it should not include space in the name. Otherwise, CCS will not run properly.

  • Najmeh,

    Thanks for the feedback.
